Notes
For soft cookies, don’t overbake—check at 10 minutes.
Use different candy melt colors for other holidays or themes.
Add festive sprinkles right after dipping for extra flair.
Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months; bake straight from freezer.
Ensure candy melts cool slightly before dipping to avoid runny coating.
